Caitlin Metz has curated and illustrated a collection of narratives, poems, stories and directions for different kinds of love from ten different humans. From polyamorous love, to love of food, self love, loving someone with mental illness and more. It's raw and messy, light hearted and heavy.
Each kind of love represented is illustrated in a small book. These books will be on display, and available for purchase. Come expand the ideas you have about how and where love exists. Leave the worn trope of maiden in destress/prince charming/heartbreak/waiting/misery and come celebrate the rich complexity of community + connection we find when we release expectation, embrace duality, contradictions and the unknown.
Come meet the brilliant humans behind this project. Get a cup of tea and read their stories.
Featuring words + stories from the following

WE’RE BAAAAACK!!!
Much like the poltergeist from the feature film Poltergeist 2, in person events are back! Because scheduling is scary enough, Silver Space is here to help. Behold, our virtual baby - The Events Calendar - revived by popular demand. Here you can find out when the next gallery opening is, where you can hear free artist talks, and even what you missed out on because you didn’t check the calendar like you should have in the first place. Shame!
If you have an exhibition, event, artist talk, opening, or something tangentially associated, email marinam@silverspacestl.com and we’ll do our best to get you on!
